Peitl Immigration

Re: Peitl Immigration

I looked a bit around the city Svitavy (formerly Zwittau). Promising locations are Nikl (today Mikuleč), Hopfendorf (today Chmelík), Oberdorf (or Oberdörfel, Klein-Abtsdorf – today Opatovec) and Abtsdorf (today Opatov), perhaps some other. Like written above by aksamitnik01, parish records are at Zámrsk archive on web site http://vychodoceskearchivy.cz/zamrsk/english-page/

If I'm not mistaken, in register births for Oberdörfel (today Opatovec) sign.M28-2374 for years 1801-1825 is on folio 46 (snap 281) written: On 2.7.1824 born in house Nr.47 Johanna, father is Franz Portele a peasant, mother is Theresia daughter of Franz Lug peasant from Oberdorfl. Note the left - June 27, 1876 a copy of baptismal certificate for the purpose of emigration (Auswanderung), picture attached.

In register births for Oberdörfel (today Opatovec) sign.M28-5503 for years 1844-1878 is on folio 10 (snap 10) written: On 4.12.1846 born in house Nr.47 Franciscus, father is Franz Schmid peasant - but it is written here: the father of this child on January 22, 1850 married with the mother of this child, and before witnesses, was declared to be the father... handwritten signature of Franz Schmid on left,... he is a legitimate son of Franz Schmid, a peasant from Opatov (Abtsdorf) Nr.4, and his wife Elisabeth nee Kraus of Abtsdorf Nr.56. Mother is Johanna, legit. daughter of Franz Portele, peasant from Oberdorf 47 and his wife Theresia nee Lug from Oberdorf 47. Note the left - June 23, 1876 a copy of baptismal certificate for the purpose of emigration (Auswanderung) etc other notes, picture is attached.

In register births for Abtsdorf (today Opatov) sign.M28-2376 for years 1844-1864 is on folio 76 (snap 75) written: On 26.11.1850 born in house Nr.4 Maria, father is Franz Schmid, Catholic, a peasant, legitimate son of Franz Schmid retired, from Abtsdorf Nr4 and his wife Elisabeth nee Kraus of Abtsdorf Nr.56. Mother is Johanna, Catholic, legitimate daughter of Franz Portele, peasant from Oberdorfl Nr47 and his wife Theresia nee Lug of Oberdorf Nr.47. One of the two child godparents is Anton Schmid, crofter from Königsberg (today Královec near Anenská Studánka) Nr15. Note the left - June 23, 1876? a copy of baptismal certificate for the purpose of emigration (Auswanderung) etc other notes, picture is attached.

Documents of immigration need to look around in 1876 – 1877.Good luck in the hunt for Johann Peitl, he will not be far away ... Greetings
